Still curious about how the VM tasks actually perform in KVM. I've been puzzling over that posting since I first read it. At the start of it they say: 'We have uploaded a new Covid -Phym version (v0.2). In this new version: - We have eliminated unnecessary files - We have uploaded a new version of gen_wrapper - We are able to to checkpointing' Then at the end of the posting they say: 'We are doing checkpointing after each of these lines (in version 0.02 and in workunits like 13052020 or higher)' So do they mean v0.2 or v0.02? Also five of my six new Tasks have workunits in the range _5202 and up (no mention of the 130 prefix) and one has the workunit _2270. All of them have 0.02 in the Application column. BTW all my earlier Tasks have shot up to exactly 60% of Progress with around 8 hours to complete. -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2020-06-02 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk

They've all been running now for around 10 hours and have a predicted completion of 15 hours. I think the bug in the progress computation for these Tasks hasn't been fixed either. Earlier Tasks froze with no apparent progress at 50% and then suddenly completed. These are all frozen at exactly 40%. However, there is a new posting on the Ibercivis Message Board that says they now have a new version of the app on the server which is supposed to fix the checkpointing problem (but not the computation issue). I just did an update and got seven new Tasks with an ETA of 48 minutes! My six originals are still chuntering away though ;-( We'll see what happens. -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2020-06-02 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
